OAKS HONEY (6) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 5 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Will prove tough to beat. MUTINY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 2. 25 lengths into fourth. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. GOLDSTRIKER (5) is back at the races for the first time since April 3. Scored over 6f at this track to launch the last campaign. Has to be respected. GONE IN A FLASH (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track (Dirt) over 5½f. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
